OPERATING THE POOL HEATER
The AQUEFIER Pool Heater is designed to be easy to operate. The front panel contains a digital
temperature control readout. The Pool Heater is set to reach and then maintain the selected pool
water temperature,
as long as the pool pump is running
. Once the selected pool temperature has
been reached, control of the pool pump is returned to the pool timer. The Pool Heater will, if
installed to use the pump hold relay, keep the pool pump running if the timer shuts off before the
selected temperature is reached.
NOTE: The Pool Heater will not run without water flow.
Water Temperature Control
For description of temperature control operation see appendix, Viconics HP727-S.
After adjusting the temperature control, check the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
It may be necessary to calibrate the Viconics controller in rare instances.
CAUTION: Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches several degrees above the
normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness,
fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of
hyperthermia include:
Unawareness of impending hazard;
Failure to perceive heat;
Failure to recognize the need to exit the pool or tub;
Physical inability to exit the pool or tub;
Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in pools and tubs.
